Program Notes

This processional style march features two hymns composed in 1906 by the significant 20th century English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) for the English Hymnal, a collection that he edited for the Church of England. The first hymn is Salve festa dies to the text “Hail Thee, Festival Day.” Set in F major, the varied scoring highlights both woodwind and brass choirs. The second hymn is the well-known Sine Nornine for the hymn “For All the Saints.” Beginning in B major, timely modulations move the key center in descending perfect fifths to E major and finally to the concluding key of A major. As the title suggests, the work has a processional quality.
